You guys do realize that Python 2 will be COMPLETELY unsupported in only 120 days from now, right? That's the end of the line. Less than three months away.

This has been causing me grief for a while because all of my other client infrastructure has been upgraded to Python 3 for more than 18 months, and it's needlessly difficult to have to make Python 3 code interoperate with a Python 2 only library.

Hi.

It really depends on what you want to use nrfutil to.

If you require BLE DFU, it will not work since py3 is not yet supported in pc-ble-driver.py, it will however soon be released (I cannot comment more details about this, read more here).

If you dont require BLE DFU, I think that you should be able to make it work by removing imports which has to do with the pc-ble-driver.py.

I hope this answer is satisfactory.

Best regards,

Andreas
